Android Question Avoid Unknown Sources Message during App Installation?

[Zkshazly]

Hello All,
I am very new to the great B4A and I finished an App and I would like to publish it so, I tried to sign it through B4A <Tools-Private Sign Key> but I got a message as per following:

Signing package file (private key). Error

jarsigner: Certificate chain not found for: Zakarias. Zakarias must reference a valid KeyStore key entry containing a private key and corresponding public key certificate chain.


so, I went to have a self sign key through following command line:
E:\jdk-14.0.1\bin>jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA256withDSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore keyNMEG.keystore myapp.apk b4a
after that I got the following message
>>> Signer

[trusted certificate]

jar signed.

Warning:
The signer's certificate is self-signed.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

but when I tried to install the app on Samsung S6 it is also still not trusted and give unknown sources message
so, what I should do more to let my app be accepted by any device?

Thank you very much

It is not related to the signing key. Any app that is not downloaded from Google Play is treated as an app from an unknown source.

Thank you very much Erel for your Clarification
So, is there a way to avoid the Error & sign through B4A?
Signing package file (private key). Error

jarsigner: Certificate chain not found for: Zakarias. Zakarias must reference a valid KeyStore key entry containing a private key and corresponding public key certificate chain.

The answer to the question in the title was answered. You should start a new thread for any other question. Tip: just use Tools - Sign Key. No need to do anything sophisticated.
